These are called padas that is legs or feet. In the Gola Shastra we find a further sub-division of this arc of 13 degrees 20 minutes into 4 parts of 3 degrees 20 minutes each. I am not going into the details of these in this article.
In most of the Panchanga’s also these details are given. can be seen in any Standard beginner’s book. Details about each Nakshatra like, Symbol, Gotra, Gana, Lord, Deity, Type, Yoni, Guna, Goal, Sex, Body Part, Caste etc. The span from 2760 40’ to 2800 54’ 13” that is to say the last pada of Uttarashada is known as Abhijit. For the purpose of some special charts like Sarvobhadra Chakra etc we consider 28 Nakshatras and for all other purposes we take only 27 Nakshatras. Now we get a shortfall of 7¾ hour in the lunar transit which was made up of an extra Nakshatra called Abhijit. Based on this the division of 130 20’ was made. Moon takes 27 days and 7¾ hours to make one round of the fixed Zodiac. In fact the first division was by means of Nakshatras only for which we find references in Rig-Veda also.

By making a 30 degree division we get the 12 Rasis. In Vedic Astrology the Zodiac comprises 360 degrees. Based on this the Vimsottari Dasa System has been built. This cycle gets repeated two more times to cover all the 27 nakshatras. The order for the first 9 nakshatras are Ketu, Shukra(Venus), Surya(Sun), Chandra(Moon), Mangala(Mars), Rahu, Guru(Jupiter), Shani(Saturn) and Budha(Mercury). Each Nakshatra has one of the navagrahas as Lord and is totally governed by them. The list of Nakshatras is available in Taittiriya Samhita (A.V 19.7) and also in the Shatapatha Brahmana. They were 27 in number and were married to Moon.
Nakshatras : According to mythology Nakshatras are the daughters of Daksha Prajapati. In this article I am trying to relate the Nakshatras to the Navamsa.
